Properties of Ellipses
This TI-Nspire Activity examines the reflective property and the distance property of a ellipse.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-ellipses
Points on a Line
The Points on a Line activity is intended to develop student understanding of slope of a line. This activity is based on the concept of vertical change and horizontal change when moving between two points on a line. Students will perform an action on the TNS file and observe the consequences of ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/points-on-a-line
Triangles and Slope - Is the Triangle Possible?
Students will construct triangles that match specific criteria. If it is possible to construct the triangle, the students have to construct the triangle and state the slope of each side. If the triangle is impossible to construct, the students must write a detailed explanation as to why it is im...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/triangles-and-slope--is-the-triangle-possible
Connecting Algebra 2 to Statistics
Once students learn how to solve exponential and logarithmic equations, the students can take data and decide if an appropriate model is exponential. This activity will require students to create scatterplots and to have the knowlegde of the relationship being linear or nonlinear. This activity...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/connecting-algebra-2-to-statistics
The Open Box: An Exploration of Maximum Volume
The students will solve the problem of finding the maximum volume of a box cut from an 18 x 24 cm peice of paper in several ways. The student will actually cut out and form several different boxes. The student will fill the boxes with "starburst" candies and then use their TI-Nspires to analyze...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-open-box-an-exploration-of-maximum-volume
